I'm hoping Fez comes to PS3...

In other news, the Demon's Souls servers are going offline forever May 31st.

Been playing some Kingdom of Loathing again at work.

With two world tendency events(black and white) in May... last chance to easily see all the tendency-locked stuff without suiciding a bunch or being super careful about beating bosses.

restarted skyrim as a new character...now im a Oldman Yojimbo looking Breton..got the Skeleton Key and now focusing on the main quest (unlike the last character i never finished).....its insane how fast you level up in this game..one of these days im gonna take time to learn how to be good with magic.

It should still be playable offline - just no world tendency or invading other people's games...

yeah, that would have been half the fun for me. is ok though.

love these things! gonna pressure my friend into buying this tomorrow

Anyone else been playing Tribes: Ascend? It's release from open beta was officially today at 2 pm EST. I went back four pages and saw no mention of it.

It's pretty fun and is on the free-to-play model.

Wow, I have to get Fez.

I'm still playing it for about 4 hours a day. Got a beta badge yesterday +10k free xp for playing beta. Great gift from hi rez. Also bought a soldier's spinfusor for 42k and then found that there was a codes giveaway for that thing.

http://forum.hirezstudios.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=234&t=67254 get it if you haven't.

I'm Groble in game

Didn't think I'd ever say this but I'm starting to get tired of quirky, whimsical platformers. AKA: Indie games...

And why is that?

Yeah, I'm starting to feel the same way. Every now and then a good arcade game comes out but over the last year or so most XBLA/PSN games have relied on quirky 8-bit 'omg-remember-this-style-of-game'-game. I do like it when they mix it up though but I'm not sure Fez is the game for me anymore.

I don't know. Too many of them these days I guess? This isn't an attack on the genre, just personally if I see the same of anything all the time I tire of it. Same with grey and brown "realistic" shooters, sandbox games a few years back, blah blah, you get the point

Yeah man. I think Fez is what made me realise. Seeing people getting all gushy over it and myself just feeling indifference got me thinking. Oversaturation!

This is the problem when the 'indie' scene becomes such a success that developers see it as a potential cash cow rather than a great way to break from traditional 'mainstream' gaming (apologies for the use of the tired old ''s)

Luckily though there's still things out there that aren't just quaint platform games but drawn with crayons (aren't we kitch!):

(currently unreleased)

(with a new version - Fract OSC coming in the future)

EDIT: But yeah, agreed saturation ....

cactus seriously needs to get back to releasing games

it's been since 2008....

unless he uses something other than his site to distribute now?

I think was his last major release was in 2010 -

Updates generally appear on his blog now - http://cactusquid.blogspot.co.uk/

I love Fract. You're the man Pete, there are some games I need to investigate. Knew I could count on you!

I'm not the avid gamer I used to be but currently playing Fez and it's... SO MUCH FUN!

see I was hoping Fez had that 3d/2d puzzle aspect to it that would make it innovative. unless that's a complete gimmick? I have yet to play it, will probably check it out tonight

is it completely free to play or is there some ultra extreme weapon shop where you can use real cash to buy weaps ?

God I hate those Max Payne trailers. Apart from the cover system (ugh) and procedural animations (ok cool) you could almost put the same boasting marketing crap on Max Payne 1 footage. Reimplementing 10 year old game features is not innovation.
